Morning all,
I can find the performance stats for my car , BJ8, which include things like 0 to 60 etc, but would like to find out some in gear, third or fourth gear , times for either a standard car or a modified one.
Please can anyone help me with this, or if you know your engines' spec and are going out soon, maybe take a stopwatch with you.
Thanks
 
There is an acceleration chart showing gear shifts in the lower right corner of this old Road and Track review that should give you a pretty good idea of how the car performed when new.

edit: I don't know why that link doesn't work, it's the first one listed on this google search..

Also, you might try to contact these people - they list a whole bunch of magazine articles and road tests on this page (scroll down) , one would hope that they have a library containing these ?
